zx50 / Zymco Newbie
« on: April 23, 2013, 02:38:27 PM »
I am in the USA and I'm looking to purchase a Kymco ZX 50 Super Fever and have a couple of questions.
1. The owner says it has been modified to 80cc. Is there anyway to tell for sure that this is true? This is my first scooter and don't want to get taken.
2. The scooter has been sitting in a garage for 2+ years and hasn't been ridden. He says he installed a new battery and it started right up. What concerns should I have about a machine that has been sitting for so long? I don't know if he drained the gas or not. Would I have to drain the oil as well?
3. He says he paid $3600 for it because it included the engine modification, a windshield, and a cargo case on the back. He wants $1500 for it. That seems a little steep to me, but again, I'm new to this, so any guidance or frame of reference would be appreciated.
4. What is different about the Super Fever model? Was that just a specific year or release or does that mean it has more or less features than a "regular" ZX 50?
Thanks for your help!
